Disclaimer: I do not own the sisters Grimm

This time, Sabrina and Daphne didn't even think of going to the orphanage. They were sick of that place, and wanted to try living on their own. The New York days and nights were not warming up, they were actually going down. October had passed, and November had set in.

In the very first night of Sabrina and Daphne trying to survive in the cold nights of New York, they discovered a little shed, behind an old rental building in which hardly anyone lived in. The shed was never used, and they also found a heater inside, which they were extremely excited about. The door locked easily, and the windows were cbolted shut, which uneased Sabrina, because they were trapped if anyone ever found them.

They had to steal from stalls outside of stores, and usually they would only get an apple for breakfast, and dinner. For water, they would steal from people's bags or shoppers when no one was looking. It was an awful life, and Sabrina went to sleep each day with guilt settling in her stomach, but at least Daphne was fed.

Overall, the shed was a good temporary home. Sabrina didn't know what she would do in the future, in the upcoming months. They couldn't live like this till Sabrina came of age- they couldn't live like that for 5 years.

It worried Sabrina, and soon, the dark lines under her eyes became ever darker. Daphne noticed, of course, even though Sabrina was hiding it very well. Daphne said nothing.

One week after living in the shed, Sabrina took Daphne with her to try and scavenge some dinner. They were careful of course, a couple of missing person posters with their faces were stapled around city- and I mean only a couple.

Sabrina crept towards a stall, with Daphne behind her, when someone grabbed her arm. "Let go of me!" Sabrina yelled, turning.

Of course, it had to be Ms. Smirt.

Daphne was frozen, her eyes wide, watching them. Ms. Smirt grabbed their arms, and dragged them back to her car. She was silent, but only because she was observing the sisters.

Daphne and Sabrina seemed quite healthy for kids who had been living alone for a week, in the big city of New York.

"How did you find us?" Sabrina asked through gritted teeth. Ms. Smirt smirked.

"The building manager of the building that you two have been sneaking behind, reported seeing you." She grinned.

"Why are you so happy?" Sabrina grumbled, as Ms. Smirt pushed her and Daphne into the car. "Nothing." Ms. Smirt said. Sabrina felt a deep suspicion in the bottom of her tummy at Ms. Smirt's antics, but there was nothing she could do.

Present

Sabrina was still a bit shaken up from the incident. And she was a bit embarrassed. Puck had to save her. And she had literally fainted.

She watched her past with a straight face because she could tell everyone was still looking at her. It made her uncomfortable, and she shifted a bit on her chair.

"What?" She snapped, once she couldn't hold it any longer. "What do you guys want?" She stood up.

"We're just worried, liebling." Granny said kindly. "Well, you shouldn't be. I'm fine." Sabrina said.

She knew she was lying to herself. But lying to yourself is easier than finding the truth.

Past.

Ms. Smirt had been observing the girls before and after they left. What she noticed was that they were always there for each other. It would hurt them to be apart- they kept each other happy.

Ms. Smirt being the person she was, planned to use it against them.

When they entered the orphanage, Ms. Smirk had someone take Sabrina away to another room. She arranged that the girls would have different lunch times, basically different everythings.

There was no way the girls would see each other, or have any other contact of each other.

"You can't do this!" Sabrina yelled, when someone was leading her away. "Yes, I can, girls. You ran away from your foster home- and you were missing for a week. You worried us a lot." Ms. Smirt said, sarcastically.

Daphne was upset, of course, but she had made a promise to herself last week that she wouldn't cry over anything. Her bottom lip trembled but she stayed strong.

For three weeks, the girls didn't see each other. They didn't even see how the other was doing, if the other was okay or not. Ms. Smirt had made sure they were completely apart- they couldn't even see each other in the hallways.

For three weeks, Sabrina was worried of what had become of Daphne. She was scared that Daphne was being bullied, that she has somehow opened that gash that she had gotten last Christmas, or that May was taking advantage of Daphne being alone and was bullying her.

But Sabrina had surprisingly made a friend. Not a bestie, not a BFF, and not a BFFF but a friend.

Since Sabrina was placed with a different group, she didn't know them very well. But they all turned out to be quite nice. Sometimes, they would even get Sabrina to laugh. Or smile. And at night, after lights out, they would tell each other scary stories- sometimes even stories of their pasts. Sabrina was the only who didn't share, but she listened.

A girl named Angela had lost her parents in a car crash. And it haunted her- since she was there. They had been driving in the car, and they hit a drunk driver- but since Angela was in the back, she survived. Her parents died protecting her.

Another girl named Luce had lost her dad before she was even born. A few months ago, her mother had dropped her off here, telling Luce that she needed to go find herself. She promised she would send letters or make phone calls, but Luce hadn't heard from her since.

But one girl- the one who Sabrina had made friends with- Tiana- Sabrina felt she had it worst of all.

Her parents had abused her for years- after they lost her brother, Max. They blamed Tiana, and soon, Tiana actually believed them. She felt she deserved the blows. But her neighbour had heard the shouts and had called Social Services. They soon discovered the marks on Tiana's body, and Tiana was taken away, here. She had been adopted by a foster family for a while, but they thought she was too quiet- and scarred for a 12 year old.

For some seconds, Sabrina didn't even remember Daphne. Then she would, and she would feel so ashamed of forgetting her, that she would go straight to sleep, not letting herself have any fun.

Present.

Sabrina suddenly realized how embarrassing this all was. She didn't want anyone seeing how ashamed she had felt, and all the friends she had made no matter how close they were. They had no right to know unless she told them!

There was nothing Sabrina could do, and she hated it.

Past.

Tiana was really nice to Sabrina. She made Sabrina laugh, and she knew how Sabrina felt. About betrayal. Sabrina told her about Daphne, and Tiana even offered to sneak to the room Daphne was staying in with the other girls, after lights out.

Sabrina didn't want her to get in trouble, so she refused.

Ms. Smirt came to check up on- everyday. And she would grin at Sabrina as if she didn't separate Sabrina from her only family- from the only person who had been there for her, through thick and thin.

The days passed by, quickly. Christmas was just around the corner, and Sabrina was getting worried.

Then one day, when Sabrina was getting ready to go to sleep, she heard a hiss coming from the wall. She sat up, looking around. And then she heard;

"Sabrina!" Sabrina put her ear against the wall. Nothing.

Then she noticed the vent beside her bed, and leaned closer to get a better look.

The vent lid burst open and hit Sabrina in the nose. Daphne came tumbling out, with another girl behind her.

"Sabrina!" Daphne cried, and she pounced on Sabrina, hugging her tightly.

"Daphne?! Shh." Sabrina said, looking around. She hugged Daphne back. "How did you get in the vents? How did you think of this?! You could get in so much trouble."

"Angela helped me. She's new to the orphanage." Daphne turned to the small girl who had also tumbled out with her.

Angela had dirty blond hair, brown eyes and a cute little button nose. She looked completely innocent, and naive, Sabrina couldn't believe that she had thought of a smart idea like this.

"Hi Angela." Sabrina said shortly. Than she turned to Daphne. "Did anything happen? Are you hurt?"

"No, Sabrina." Daphne sighed. "Are you?"

"Of course not."

That's when they heard someone's heels in the wall. "Ms. Smirt!" Sabrina gasped. Angela crawled into the vent, and Sabrina quickly shoved Daphne forward, towards it. "Bye Sabrina!" Daphne whispered. Crawling into the duct.

As Sabrina fit the vent lid back into place, she heard a soft, "I love you," before it was all quiet again.

The doorknob turned, and Sabrina dove into her bed, and yanked on the blankets over her. She closed her eyes and heard the door open, before the sound of heels clicked clacked over to her bed.

It was quiet for a few minutes, and Sabrina shut her eyes tightly. Then the heels clicked clacked away, and the door was closed. When she heard Ms. Smirt's footsteps fade into silence, Sabrina sat up and gulped in mouthfuls of air.

Even though Ms. Skirt had almost caught them, Sabrina fell asleep with a smile on her face.
